Best way to Secure a PHP code before selling

Post by iFlex »

Hello, I haven't been here for a while, but I pose a question now,

I am working on a PHP based content management system that I plan to sell, with a license based system.

My question is, what is the best way to secure my PHP code before I sell it? I have tried some code obfuscation but this could easily be bypassed.

Any help is appreciated.

You could also sell it as a complied script. I've read server loads can be dropped 35% to 50% running a complied PHP version and the code would have to be decompiled from byte code to rebuild.
